This bill directs the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to promulgate regulations to update the standards for lead-contaminated dust and lead-contaminated soil, in accordance with health-based standards.

The Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 is amended to define elevated blood lead level as the lower of:

5 mg/dL (micrograms of lead per deciliter), or

the most recent definition for elevated blood lead level or reference range level in children ages 1 through 5 set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The bill also removes 0-bedroom housing from the definition of target housing.

require an initial lead-based paint hazard risk assessment before a family with a child under age six occupies certain housing, unless lead-based paint has already been removed; and

state that a visual assessment is not sufficient for these purposes.

These regulations shall apply to housing receiving federal assistance that was constructed before 1978, but exclude:

single-family housing covered by an application for mortgage insurance from the Federal Housing Administration, or

multi-family housing covered by such an application but does not receive any other federal housing assistance.

HUD regulations shall also require emergency relocation of such families, without placement on a waitlist, penalty, or lapse in assistance, to another unit of covered housing that has no lead-based paint hazards.

The Government Accountability Office shall report to Congress on lead hazards in federally assisted housing.
